Today was beautiful! With the temperature in the lower 50's, Keilo & I couldn't stay indoors. We went for a walk at a nearby park. Althought the ponds were still frozen, there were still lots of fellow "warmth worshipers" out, jogging, walking their dogs, and just enjoying the sun. With the temperatures we have been experiencing over the last couple of weeks, it was not surprise.

I cussed the fruit from the Bradford Pear tree in our front yard this fall. The berries covered the yard and the driveway. You couldn't walk across the yard without the bottom of your shoes being covered with smashed berries. Now that winter has come, and we have had so much snow, I have rather enjoyed watching the birds feed upon the berries. At one point, they would pick the berries, then come onto the porch, out of the wind, to eat them, leaving the stems. With the winter we have been having, I'm glad the tree full of berries has been there for them.

This is the side view of the Embassy Suites in Charleston. This also used to be home to "The Citadel". The Citadel is "the Military School of South Carolina." The hotel is located in the original Citadel Military College and is on the National Historical Registry. When they converted it to a hotel they didn't change much of the building. Some of our group said they had "gun turrets" visible in their rooms!
